Liu Ke not only prepared a gift for Cao Cao, but also a gift for Yuan Shao.
Only a fire at home can make them realize the truth.
"Zhongde, what do you think?" Liu Ke said.
Cheng Yu has always been a cruel official, decisive in killing.
Yuan Shu didn't want to join the battle, so Cheng Yu didn't have any means at all?
"My lord, I think it's fine if Yuan Gonglu doesn't join the war." Cheng Yu said.
"How to say?" Liu Ke said.
"When we win the battle, not only can we take Yanzhou, but we can also take Yuzhou by the way." Cheng Yu said.
Swallow two states in one go?
good appetite.
But Liu Ke likes it.
The power in Yuzhou is scattered, so there is nothing to worry about.Once Cao Cao was defeated, Yuzhou seemed to have become a land without an owner.
As long as Liu Ke sends [-] elite soldiers, it will not be difficult to win.
Perhaps Cheng Yu took this into consideration, so he didn't use any means to force Yuan Shu.
"You are very thoughtful." Liu Ke said.
However, Liu Ke still kept an eye on it. The success of this matter depends on whether the war can be won.
For ordinary people, it is an adventure.
"If Yuan Shu doesn't participate in the battle, he can still contain Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu." Cheng Yu added.
The existence of Yuan Shu can do many things for Liu Ke, which is why Liu Ke has never coveted Runan.
For Liu Ke, Runan is just a county, dispensable.The existence of Yuan Shu has a greater effect.
In the past, it could serve as a buffer for Liu Ke and Cao Cao, but later Liu Ke captured Xuzhou and directly bordered Yanzhou.
"Yuan Shu doesn't participate in the war if he doesn't participate in the war, don't care about him." Liu Ke said.
Cheng Yu bowed his hands and resigned. He knew that Liu Ke was more Buddhist, so he was not particularly worried that he would be punished if the mission failed.
Facts have proved that this is correct, Liu Ke did not have too much expectation, but was a little surprised.
But after Cheng Yu left, Jia Xu walked in, as if he had something to report.
Chapter 510 Investigation
"My lord, did you seem to see Zhong De go out just now?" Jia Xu said.
"Yeah, what's the matter?" Liu Ke said.
"My lord, can you tell me what happened to Zhong De?" Jia Xu said.
Liu Ke looked at Jia Xu in surprise, after all, such a request can be said to be very excessive.
However, Liu Ke believed in Jia Xu, so he said it again.
"Yuan Gonglu would reject the lord's invitation, there must be something strange about it." Jia Xu said with certainty.
"Wenhe continues." Liu Ke said solemnly.
"Others may not know the strength of the lord, but how could Yuan Gonggong not know? As a small neighbor, he has no sense of existence from the beginning to the end. The reason why Yuan Shu was able to rise from failure many times is because Yangzhou is rich. Dip light.
During the first anti-Yangzhou alliance, the lord did not invite, and Yuan Shu came here by himself.This time the lord sent an envoy to express his goodwill, how could Yuan Shu refuse? "Jia Xu analyzed.
Liu Ke fell into deep thought.
"It's not only Yuan Shu's fault, but also Zhong De's words, my lord should think carefully about it," Jia Xu said.
This sentence reminded Liu Ke.
How did Cheng Yu find refuge in Yangzhou?
This has to start with the death of Wang Yun.
When Cao Cao went out to fight, Wang Yun was behind making wind and rain.So Cao Cao sent Cheng Yu back.
Cheng Yu really lived up to his entrustment, beheaded Wang Yun, and stabilized the rear.
At that time, Wang Yun still had some affection for Liu Ke, and Cao Cao didn't know how to explain to Liu Ke.
Liu Ke took the opportunity to make demands. The first was that Cao Cao must be loyal to the emperor, and the second was to poach Cheng Yu.
In this way, Cheng Yu joined Yangzhou in a daze.
Is Cheng Yu willing?
Liu Ke suddenly thought of this question. For Cheng Yu's definition, Liu Ke has always let him deal with marginal things.
Cheng Yu's performance was also quite satisfactory.
Now that Jia Xu said this, Liu Ke couldn't help becoming suspicious.
Liu Ke has always treated people with sincerity, so all the officials in Yangzhou were united and there was no problem.
